The one above only has one unfavorable ingredients but many others on the market have 3-4. Some salsas (like the brand above) even have natural flavors which can be the food industry’s way of adding MSG without telling us. It can even be parts of animals that I assure you we don’t want to be eating (beaver anal glands). Trust me when you see the word natural flavors it is so ambiguous, please run the other way or just whip up some of my easy homemade salsa in a jiffy!

It is also a good idea to buy organic tomatoes because they are in development to be genetically modified (could be on the shelves anytime). Also tomatoes are on the dirty dozen list of most contaminated with pesticides so be on the safe side and choose organic tomatoes whenever possible.
